But seriously holy crap your design for unarmored Seven is beautiful. And her new/real name being "Gene" is so thematically on point for Mewtwos!

also just:

This is the face of someone whos gonna help drag her beau out of The Sad Dad Zone (along with the rest of the family's help of course).

Just the best way to convey their dynamic without a single word.

Precisely, you understand the assignment XD

Joyce: “While they’re registered to me, Garroway and Amari are more tamed rather than domesticated. They’re still wild pokemon who have their moments of what one would consider ‘feral behavior’. It was actually only a bit before Zeus and Nemo arrived did they finally allow me near the chicks. It probably doesn’t help that Briar and Piper are their first set of chicks, so they’re still new parents. I don’t blame them for being protective though, I was rather proud actually! I was worried that having to raise Garroway myself would’ve cause him some struggles later in life, but he was more than capable providing for Amari and his chicks!”

Thank you so much! Welcome back to Digimon as well! I myself only started this blog here (or technically the first version of it before it got flagged and I had to remake it) in mid-2020 based on the combination of Kizuna and the reboot inciting discussion, plus the pandemic making me really bored and thus leading to a rewatch party, so I understand exactly what you mean in this regard. I wrote more than I thought I would ever be capable of in the last two years, so I hope the backlog isn't too intimidating, but I also hope it can be useful for your needs! This is mostly 02 (and by logical extension Adventure)-centric, but there's a bit of everything, and I'm still working on a Survive thing back here.

Most of the stuff on this blog came out of discussions springing from my group rewatch two years ago (...and some other groups' watches; seems like rewatching Digimon during the pandemic was a pretty popular thing to do) and current discussions with the group chat I discuss it with, so some of it is derived from observations over the years, some of it comes from observations others have made, and some even from friends showing the series to people completely new to the series to hear what they have to say. (There are fandom mantras that don't have good basis but are taken for granted just because they've been circulating in the echo chamber for 15+ years, so outside opinions from outside the chamber are valuable, and it's also very necessary to constantly reconsider whether something is actually accurate or whether it's something questionable that everyone just happens to repeat all the time. Some of the things I've been saying here probably come off as me making really hot takes because they often go against fandom conventional wisdom...but really I think I just have too much conviction for my own good ^^;) It's ultimately just my way of seeing it in the end, I can only speak for myself and what I agree/disagree with after all, but if it can be interesting or useful in any way then I think I've done my job.

Also it's just very funny to drop this Seven preview while you're wrapped up in your DBZ kick. Very sneaky.

Here's hoping I even reach the point of doing the future arc someday ^^;
